ELEVATOR PITCH

Book ID/图书代码： 12844019C00037

English Summary/英文概要： It all begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in a Manhattan office tower. Each presses a button for their floor, but the elevator proceeds, non-stop, to the top. Once there, it stops for a few seconds, and then plummets. Right to the bottom of the shaft. It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on Tuesday, it happens again, in a different Manhattan skyscraper. And when Wednesday brings yet another high-rise catastrophe, one of the most vertical cities in the world--and the nation’s capital of media, finance, and entertainment--is plunged into chaos. Clearly, this is anything but random. This is a cold, calculated bid to terrorize the city. And it’s working. Fearing for their lives, thousands of men in women working in offices across the city refuse leave their homes. Commerce has slowed to a trickle. Emergency calls to the top floors of apartment buildings go unanswered. Two seasoned New York detectives and a straight-shooting journalist must race against time to find the answers before the city’s newest, and tallest, residential tower has its Friday night ribbon-cutting.

With each diabolical twist, Linwood Barclay ratchets up the suspense, building to a shattering finale. Pulsating with tension, ELEVATOR PITCH is a riveting tale of psychological suspense that is all too plausible . . . and will chill readers to the bone.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这一切始于周一，当时四个人登上曼哈顿办公大楼的电梯。他们每个人都按了一个楼层按钮，但电梯仍然不停地向上运行。到达楼顶后，它停了几秒钟，然后直线下降直到最底部。这似乎是一场可怕的意外。但周二，在曼哈顿的另一座摩天大楼里，这样的情况又一次发生了。当星期三又出现另一场高楼灾难时，世界上最垂直的城市之一，以及国家的媒体、金融和娱乐之都，陷入了混乱。显然这些悲剧的发生不是随机的。这是对这所城市有计划性的恐怖威胁。而且它的目的达到了。由于担心自己的生命危险，成千上万原本在城市的办公室里工作的人们拒绝离开自己的家。商业发展被严重地影响。由于到公寓楼顶层的紧急电话无人接听，两位经验丰富的纽约探员和一位直截了当的记者必须争分夺秒，赶在这座城市最新、最高的住宅大楼周五晚上的剪彩之前寻找答案。

随着每一个惊心动魄的转折，Linwood Barclay加快了悬念，创作了一个粉碎人心的结局。电梯的音调随着紧张而跳动，这是一个扣人心弦的心理悬念故事，这一切都太可信了。我是说…会让读者们不寒而栗。（YYW）
